Bobby Lin asked Jessica Strawser:

HOw do you enjoy writing for beginning writers and what would you tell people who want to write a book?

Jessica Strawser I love my work at Writer's Digest on behalf of writers at all levels. I've found fellow writers to be some of the most warm, generous and all-around fascinating people I've ever met, and it's a privilege to fill a role in this amazing community.

Whenever people tell me they want to write a book, I tell them they should give it a try! There are tons of resources available, both in the form of publications like Writer's Digest and in the form of writing groups online and off, to meet you where you are and help you get started. Plenty of successful writers came to the craft later in life, without having necessarily planned out their paths. Never hesitate to pursue anything that sparks something within you or brings you joy.
